"DOCTORING OLD TIME"
Striking PictHrc-A Revival of Old-
 Time SimDlicitiea.

In one of Harper's issues is given a very fine illustration of Robertss celebrated paint ing, known as "Doctoring Old Time" It represents typical old-timer, with his bel lows, blowing the dust from an ancient clock, with its cords and weights carefully secured, One of these clocks in this generation is ap- preciated only as q rare relic.
 The suggestive name, "DoctOring Old Time" brings to our mind another version of the title, used for another purpose-"Old Time Doctoring."
 We learn, through a reliable source that one of the most enterprising proprietary medicine firms of the country, has been for years investigating the formulas and medical preparations used in the beginning of this century, and even before, with a view of as fathers time enjoyed health and physical vigor so seldom found in the present genera ton. They now think they have secured the secret or secrets. They find that the prevail Ing opinion that then existed, that Mature has a remedy for every existing disorder '' was true, and acting under this belief, our grandparents used the common herbs and plants. Continual trespass upon the forest domain has made these herbs less abundant and has driven them further from civiliza- tion, until they have been discarded os renie- dial agents because of the difficulty of ob. ta5Iqing them
 H. H. Warner, proprietor of Warners safe cure, and founder of the Warner ob- servatory, Rochester, N.

 From the number of remedies, it will be seen that they do not propose to cure all diseases with one preparation It is believed by many that with these remedies flew era is to draw upon suffering htilnanity, and that the close of the nineteenth century will sea these roots and herbs as compounded under the title of Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, as popular as they were at it's beginning. Al though they come in the form of proprietary medicine, yet they will be none the less wei come, for suffering humanity has become tired of modem doctoring and the public has great confidence in any remedies put up by the firm of which H. H. Warner is the head. effects of doctoring with poisonous drugs. Few realize the injurious effects following the prescriptions of many modern physicians. These effects of poisonous drugs, already prominent, will become more pronounced in coming generations. Therefore, we can cor dially wish the old.fashioned new remedies the best of success.
